Yes, ok, but how are you going to know what mime types are handled by
nautilus? I depends of the installed views, etc.

And even if a mime type is not handled by nautilus, that doesn't mean
that galeon should handle it. At least not always. Nautilus may want to
ask the user if he wants to download it or open it with some program...

What about having a list of mime types handled by the galeon view and
letting nautilus decide what to do with the rest of types? (or asking
the user, like with the download dialog?) (your callback would be ok for
this).
